Flyboy

After killing an alien invader with a lucky throw that opened its helmet and made him choke on air, you hijacked his ship and rode autopilot back to the mothership. You've got a space suit and a jetpack, but no fuel or weapons. Hopefully you'll find some soon, since the alien ship is full of dangerous robots, traps, and puzzles.

The goal of this game is to progress through the rooms by entering the exit door in each one. Try flicking all the switches to open the door if you need to, but watch out for traps and enemy robot guardians.You can use a gamepad or the keyboard to play Flyboy. Enable gamepad controls from the option screen to use one. You'll be asked which buttons to use for JUMP, USE, and SWITCH.

Controls

Arrows or Joystick: Make Flyboy walk or climb

C or JUMP button: Press to make Flyboy jump. Press it again while airborne to use your jetpack if you have fuel for it.

X or USE button: Press to use an item that you picked up. You can only hold one item at a time.

Z or SWITCH button: Press to flick a switch, to drop an item, or to pick up an item that you already dropped.
